" we're just gonna ask you a few questions about your mother" one smiled
" okay" I replied simply
" has your mother ever dank like this before?" One asked
" yes she'd done this twice before one when I was 10 and then on my 16th birthday" I spoke shyly
" okay has she ever hurt you when she's drunk?"
" she has once that was on my 16th she sent everyone home and pushed me up against the wall and told me I'm a spoilt brat" I spoke
" do you have any scars left from that if you don't mind me asking?"
I nodded and showed them the bottom of my back and the back of my neck I had covered them up when I was with the boys so they didn't question anything
" do you mind me taking a picture of them for evidence?"
" I don't mind" I spoke as the woman took a picture of my scars
" we just have one more question for you and then we will give you a choice if you want to see your mother or not today" the officer smiled
" are you safe? Do you feel any depression or worried thoughts that stop you doing normal things and I see you've got stitches on your face can we ask where their from"
" I'm safe I'm staying with my f-boyfriend George that's who's mum dropped me off today and I do feel worried most times about this but George and his two friends look after me and distract me from those thoughts and the stitches are from the other day I wasn't looking where I was going and tripped over" I lied
" we recommend that you go to one of these classes once a week to get rid of those worried thoughts and I'm glad George is looking after you. Are you sure those stitches are from falling over?"
" I'm sure the stitches are from falling over" I gave out a little smile
" okay and now would you like to visit your mother?" One officer spoke
" yes please" I nodded as they both lead me into this room where I saw my mum sitting down on a table as I sat opposite her
" darling I'm so happy you've came to see me just tell them I'm okay tell them I haven't done anything to you or your brother please" she begged
" I've told them the truth mum and I'm sorry" I spoke as my voice cracked and tears where threatening to fall
" oh baby don't cry I don't have to go in here we can run away and live in Australia just how we planned to" my mum placed her hands on mine but the officer at the door knocked on the door to tell her off
" I can't mum" I whispered
" why not?!" She raised her voice
" I'm living with George and his family" I said shyly
" why you don't even like him you two hate eachother" my mum looked at me confused
" mum that was 2 years ago that we hated eachother that's how much you listen to me you don't even know it's my birthday tomorrow!" I raised my voice
" Right times up" the officer spoke
" no just wait I need to talk to her!" My mum stood up as he pushed her back down as I walked out crying. I got into the waiting room and sat on one of the seats crying my eyes out
" babe come here" George's voice hushed softly as he lifted me off the seat and hugged me
" you shouldn't be here" I sobbed
" no I should be here" he spoke
" STEPH DARLING I WANT TO TALK TO YOU" I heard my mum screaming
" come on" George grabbed my hand as he ran out pulling me with him as we got into his mums car
" MUM DRIVE" George shouted
" okay okay" George's mum started the car and drove off as George was hugging me as I was crying
" I'll look after to you forever no matter what I don't care if I go on tour your coming with me and Blake and Reece you can't be here alone" George spoke while hugging me
" George" I spoke
" yeah" he looked at me worried
" can you take me back to my house I need to find my brother" I spoke as he nodded and his mum drove to my house and me and George got out the car
" I'll go get some of your things and you can find your brother yeah?" George planned as I nodded and we went our separate ways George went upstairs and I went into the basement where my brothers 'man cave' was
" Steph!" I heard my brother sigh of relief before hugging me I could tell he'd been crying
" you went to see mum today didn't you" he spoke as we pulled apart
" yeah I did and I never want to see that woman ever again" I spoke
" I'm so sorry sis it's my fault I should of done something sooner" my brother apologised
" it's not your fault Dean don't worry you were just scared we both where" I spoke
" yeah I guess and can I ask a question?" A small smile grew on his face
" sure" I raised a eyebrow as he smiled
" why do you smell like boy?" He smiled
" I've got your stuff" I heard George say as I saw deans smile grow wider as George walked down the stairs
" hey George" Dean smiled
" hey Dean long time no see" George laughed
" I know and now your dating my sister it really has been long" Dean laughed
" how? Oh aftershave" George clicked as he got where Dean got the boyfriend idea from
" look after her for me George" Dean spoke seriously
" why say that like your leaving?!" I spoke as a tear escaped my eye
" I'm sorry sis I need to go" he spoke before pulling me into a hug
" but your the only family I have left here" I sobbed
" I know but I saw how happy you where with George and I thought it would be better and safer for you if I leave" Dean spoke before his eyes let out a stream of water
" I'm leaving tonight Steph just remember I love you and I'm only one call away okay" he said again as we pulled apart
" I'll look after her" George smiled as he hugged me
" Thankyou" Dean smiled
" oh and sis I brought you a birthday present" Dean passed me a envelope
" what is it?" I asked as I ripped it open to see 5,000 pounds written on a check
" it's for you to buy new things and buy anything you'd like while I'm not here and if you ever run out at some point just call me" he smiled Before I have him one last hug
" goodbye I love you" I spoke as me and George walked upstairs
" goodbye sis love you too" my brother spoke smiling
